Last August I adopted a 3 1/2 month old wire haired terrier/poodle mix (or so the rescue said) puppy. She's been a challenge but she's been fun. We traveled to Florida for Christmas and she found herself with a whole new world to explore. "What do you mean there's a tree in the house, mom? It doesn't smell like any tree I've seen on our walks. And what are all these things underneath? Hm, I can get around them pretty easily!"
